Where can I fly a drone in my city?
Updated · From NAV CANADA and municipal data
In most Canadian cities you need an Advanced RPAS certificate and NAV CANADA authorization near the main airport, while a Basic certificate covers the rest if you stay 5.6 km from certified airports and 30 m from bystanders. City park bylaws add their own limits. Pick your city for the local details.
